NWSA GRAD GETS INVOLVED --MORE THAN JUST "A LITTLE BIT"

On her 16th birthday in 1942, Marjorie's mom and dad visited her at the Northwest School. Their birthday gift to her was a new coat. Today Marjorie Ofstedahl Hanson (senior class, '43) is as ' stylish as she was then.

As she walked into the White House Alumni Center this spring, she had a special spring in her step. Her royal blue suit with matching spike shoes and gold scarf let us know that this was a person with a special zest for life.

. Marge and her husband Si own S.i-Mar Farm in rural Thief River Falls. Since they bought the original 160-acre farm in 1945 from Si's uncle, they have put in a great deal of effort to . keep it neat and orderly: Today their farm totals about 1,000 acres in mostly crop production and beautiful gardens.

Marge loves her yard, and loves to share it with others, hosting many groups for tours ..

"I enjoy all growing things. I see more that a yard, .1 see living things, II she said.

Although ' Marge spends many hours working on her yard, her enthusiasm goes beyond her own property. She

was ,a 4-H leader for 15 years, and was active in homemakers club, quilting clubs and in her church. She is a past president of the Zehlian art group of the General Federation of Women's Club and the Thief River Falls chapter of Business and Professional Women. She is a Hospice volunteer and serves on the ReLeaf Committee for northwestern Minnesota.

Born in Iowa in 1926, Marge moved with her family in 1933 to rural Plummer. The NWSA left its mark on Marge.

"Vje were very poor, but everybody was poor at that

time. At the Northwest School there was electricity and indoor plumbing, II she said. •

She remembers her days at the School as the time of life when she was most carefree.

"I have so many memories of a carefree learning experience, II Marge said.

She met Si in 1946 at the Red River Valley Winter Shows when she was stormed in. He gave her a ride home, and a year later they ' were married. Today after 46 years on the farm, she says, with her upbeat spirit, this may be the last year for us on the farm.

Her decorating skills were put to good use on the White House Alumni Center remodeling project where she coordinated the needle work for the chairs in the alumni center.

"I don't · get involved just a little bit" she laughed.

As she sat with students in the Trojan Inn at UMC she talked again about her enthusiasm for the campus.

"Times change, but places don't. It's an excellent idea to have U MC offer baccalaureate degrees. U MC is located in an agriculture area where it's needed."

-LARSON4S .NOTES Chancellor's Comments

Allan larson

The 1992-93 academic year has been truly a momentous' one for the UMC campus. The most significant achievement was receiving approval to add baccalaureate degree programs in the fa" of 1993.

Other notable achievements and activities include the following:

. ··· 1. Our UMC hockey team brought home the National Junior College Athletic Association championship title.

2. The January 30, McAllen, TX social ' was very successful -thanks to the assistance of Si and Marge (Ottesdahl) '43 Hanson who hosted the event at the Club at Cimmeron. More than 50 alumni, spouses and friends attended the event. We were pleased NWSA Alumni Association President Paul and Lois Proulx were able to attend.

3. A social held in Minneapolis on April 25 attracted more than 70 alumni and friends. We were especially pleased ' that Dr. Bernard Youngquist (1956-1968), the last 'NWSA Superintendent; Dr. Stanley Sahlstrom (1965-1985), 'UMC Founding Provost; and Dr. Donald Sargeant, the current Chancellor at UMC; were in attendance t to represent the evolving eras of the Crookston

campus.

4. ·The NWSA Annual Fund Drive is still in progress. The drive began in March with letters· to all alumni anGi the phonathon was conducted during the last two weeks in March. More than 25 NWSA alumni, UMC faculty

- and staff volunteered many hours to call our Aggie alumni. A special thanks to these volunteers and to . the Aggie's who hpve made contributions to the Heritage Fund. At the

. - present time we are still about $10,000 short of our goal for this year's fund drive. We would . appreciate any . financial assistance you can give us to help us reach our goal.

Future events programming for this summer include:

1. Plan to attend the June 26, 1993 NWSA Reunion . Reunion classes this year include alumni from the classes of '13,' '18, '23, '28, '33, '38, '43, '48, '53, '58, '63, '68. Honored classes are the classes of '43 and '68. Class leader letters have been sent and additional information will be sent to the reunion classes in the near future.

The la,st six months have been months of reviews and reports. First UMC's new baccalaureate programs were reviewed by . President Hasselmo and the central officers group, then the Board of Regents, and then by the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating Board. At the

. \

same time UMC was preparing the reports and visited by a North Central Association team for accreditation as a baccalaureate institution. UMC completed the reviews. There were a few _adjustments, but approvals were frol1':1 all agencies and . boards. So .... UMC is about the many tasks of preparing for fall quarter with the addition of 11 baccalaureate programs which complement the existing

. associate program portfolio.

The most exciting instructional innovation this fall is the addition of personal computers for all new freshmen.

2. Preparation is underway for the Third Annual UMC/NWSA and Community Golf Classic scheduled for Saturday, July 17, 1,993 at Minakwa Golf \ Club in Crookston. Details are provided in a separate article in this

Paul Proulx

In February Dr. Allan Larson, his wife Kay, along with my wife and myself, made a quick trip to Mc Allen, Texas, to join a good number of NWSA Alumni in a winter gathering. A sizeable group gathered to Marge and Si Hanson's -r very-well planned afternoon program.

Allan brought everybody up-to-date on the latest information on UMC's baccalaureate program progress. In fall 1993, UMC will add 11 baccalaureate programs to its associate programs.

We also attended an evening meeting of NWSA and UMC alumni at the Nicollet Inn in Minneapolis in April. In addition to alumni, a number of people from the University of Minnesota, . and the region were in attendance including Chancellor Sargeant, Regent .Sahlstrom, former NWSA and NWES Superintendent Dr .

Bernie youngquist, and Senator . Roger Moe.

Allan, again made a nice presentation of our alumni organizations and scholarship programs. He brought every-body up to date on your donations to the Heritage Fund and other endowment funds that have been established by alumni gifts. The alumni board of directors, myself, and Allan, our very capable alumni director extend our thanks and appreCiation to all alumni who responded with donations of funds again this year during our phonathon and mailing fund drive. It is very much appreciated by those students who receive scholarships.

Incidentally, in case you are wondering how much of your donated funds are used for travel to Arizona, Texas, and wherever, for these winter meetings ... the answer is none. These costs are funded by the person or person's who choose to go. No alumni donations are used.

We will again have a summer reunion so watch your mailbox for schedules and registration forms.

Have a nice spring and summer, And I wish you all great health and happiness. See you .

UMC Adds Baccalaureate Degree Programs-Approval and Accreditation

UMC's Chancellor, Dr. Donald Sargeant, stated that "UMC has passed another milestone" as it received final approval from the Minnesota Higher Education Coordinating BQard (MHECB) to offer baccalaureate programs in eleven areas on April 16, 1993. Junior and senior level courses have already been adopted by the UMC Campus Assembly for these baccalaureate

Technology Component

. programs, and courses are in place for students enrolled for fall quarter 1993.

UMC's career-oriented technical programs -- especially its baccalaure-ate programs -- will be unique to Minnesota, not only because of their focus on applied skills, but also because of an incorporated technology compo-nent. Beginning in the fall of 1993, each full-time student attending UMC will be provided with a personal computer funded by a part of their fees. Use of this PC in all courses will provide all UMC students with a technological edge as they enter the work force with two to four years of applied computer

-

In addition to approval from the MHECB, University of Minnesota President Nils Hasselmo and the Board of Regents have approved UMC's baccalaureate plans, supporting the expanded role of the U of M in north-western Minnesota. Approval via accreditation is also expected from the North Central Association of Colleges and Schpols Commission on Institu-tions of High Education (NCA). Dr. Rita Meyer, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at UMC, indicates that the NCA will recommend ' accreditation for UMC's baccalaureate programs at its June meeting.

Both Baccalaureate and Associate Degrees In addition to the new baccalaureate programs, UMC will also continue

to offer associate degrees as it has done for the last 26 years. Students attending UMC will, thus, have the option to complete an associate degree or to continue their education in order to achieve a baccalaureate degree from the University of Minnesota.
